Opened in 1928, the grand pink palace was a hot spot for high society of the Gatsby age before it shut down after the depression and became a hospital for battle-fatigued World War II airmen. It reopened in the 1970s, and is now a family favorite for milestone meals and events.
I'm never one for buffets, and while this one was certainly above average, it wasn't as good as the usual meal at The Don. They offered the traditional turkey, with stuffing, gravy, homemade cranberry relish, sweet potatos, etc. - as well as carved prime rib, a pasta station with lobster ravioli, and other protein items like mahi mahi, chicken, and salmon. Everything was tasty, except for the pasta which kind of seemed like an afterthought. What was a true dissapointment was the desert table, peppered with aluminum foil tins filled with grocery-store quality pies.
Overall, it was a fine experience. But the truth is you can't beat Thanksgiving dinner at home.
